Overall, 46 percent of Americans said they supported impeachment and 40 percent said they opposed it.
Support for impeachment was relatively steady among Republicans and Democrats over the past week but it surged among independents, a group that includes people who neither identify as Democrats nor Republicans and do not favour either party when they vote.
Among independents, 45 percent said in the latest poll they supported impeachment and 32 percent said they opposed it, the strongest level of support recorded in more than a year.
A little more than one in three independents had said they were in favour of impeachment in more than a dozen previous Reuters/Ipsos polls since June 2018.

Remember, until the last couple of weeks many Democratic officials were against impeachment because they feared it would unify Trump's base and backfire on Dems especially those in swing districts.

This is far past possible illegality. Their is a gang of Russian Mafia writ large.

He did decent things, even wanted health care. Trump has no redeeming qualities. He is a Mafia thug.
